Going by the exploded view of happs pinball coin door, it's aproximatly 11

Have you seen any pictures of my Space Firebird? It has a factory wooden door with reject buttons on it (the coin slots themselves are on the panel), maybe that would be an easier solution.

Also, you know you can just rig a real coin door to do the same thing, right? I have several machines that credit up by activating the coin reject buttons.

Another option might be to snag a cocktail coin acceptor plate (with reject switched) and mount that on a small wooden door.

But like other posters said, they already make small coin doors, and a used one (once repainted) would work fine, and almost certainly be cheaper and more authentic than one you would make yourself.

If you want to make a cabaret or mini Galaga, then just get a Midway cocktail cabinet door that came on the Pacman and Galaxian machines:

It's about 40% smaller in width then the full Midway door and you would still have the Midway look w/ the horizontal coin slot and $.25 coin insignia.  You may have to be a bit patient in waiting for one to show up on Ebay, but they do show up from time to time (my friend just bought one about 3 mos. ago).  Unfortunately I don't have the dimensions to give you.

Anyone know the dimensions of the door on this?


paigeoliver:

The one on that cabaret appears to be a standard full size door, and I OWN a Midway cocktail and it has the exact same door that all my other midway games have.
